3. Rights based Approaches to Conservation – establishment of a new Australia ICOMOS working group
Australia ICOMOS is looking to set up a Working Group (WG) on Rights Based Approaches to Heritage Conservation and is currently seeking Expressions of Interest from those who would like to join the group. The aim of the WG is to track current international developments on rights based approaches to conservation and help raise awareness about these among the Australian ICOMOS and wider heritage conservation community. There is also an intention to support the work occurring at the international level by ICOMOS, arising from the ‘Our Common Destiny’ resolution of the last General Assembly.
Primarily, the group will communicate and undertake its work electronically, but will aim to meet whenever feasible. It is expected the initial term for the group will be 2-3 years. Those interested in joining the group, please contact Tim Winter by email by COB Friday 13 December.

11. “Heritage & Healthy Societies?” conference, USA, 14-16 May 2014 – call for abstracts
HERITAGE AND HEALTHY SOCIETIES?
Exploring the Links among Cultural Heritage, Environment, and Resilience
UMass Amherst Campus, Amherst, MA USA
14-16 May 2014
The University of Massachusetts Amherst Center for Heritage & Society is pleased to host its Fourth Annual International Heritage Conference.
Co-organized by: the Center for Heritage & Society (UMass Amherst) and the Centre for Heritage at Kent (University of Kent)
Plenary Speakers
- Michael Herzfeld, Professor of Anthropology, Harvard University
- Mindy Fullilove, Professor of Clinical Psychiatry and Public Health, Columbia University
- Rodney Harrison, Reader in Archaeology, Heritage and Museum Institute of Archaeology, University College London
The Challenge
Whether on an on an individual or a societal scale, heritage and well-being are often seen as disparate concerns. When heritage is viewed as related to community well-being, its value is often reduced to economic development and tourism, rather than something that might be integral to wellness on a larger scale. But what if the collective remaking of the past in the present plays a critical role in imagining a more sustainable and healthy future?
The goal of this conference is to explore the application of the past to contemporary and future social challenges, specifically sustainability and wellbeing. Given the current focus on climate change, rising sea levels, and the displacement of peoples, the wellness of societies is a critical issue. But until now, heritage has had little to say about the subject. The conference will explore the relationship between heritage and three interrelated aspects of sustainability and wellbeing. They include: (1) Heritage and environment: How can heritage be brought to bear on the problems of environmental sustainability, including changing ecosystems, food security, and dwindling energy resources? (2) Heritage and resilience: How does the past affect issues of social sustainability, including community adaptability, cohesion and identity? (3) Heritage and wellness: How do place, continuity and memory relate to issues of human wellbeing, and physical and mental health?
Themes to be explored in this conference include
- Heritage and Environment
- Heritage and Resilience
- Heritage and Wellness
Submission of Abstracts
Abstracts for organized sessions, research papers, and poster presentations will be accepted until 1 February 2014. We strongly encourage the submission of abstracts as part of organized sessions, which will be considered for invited session status. Organized sessions should include both panel and individual paper abstracts (a maximum of 300 words in English with a maximum of one illustration or screenshot).
Notification of acceptance will be made by 15 February 2014, and conference registration must be made by 1 March 2014.
Additional information can be found at the conference website.

12. Tasmanian Wilderness World Heritage Area Management Plan
The Tasmanian Wilderness World Heritage Area (TWWHA) is formally recognised through World Heritage listing as being part of the natural and cultural heritage of the world community because of its outstanding universal value. The Tasmanian Wilderness is an extensive, wild, beautiful temperate land where early heritage of the Tasmanian Aboriginal people is preserved.
The property was first inscribed on the World Heritage List in 1982 on the basis of four natural criteria and three cultural criteria, and, as of 2013, the property remains listed for more criteria than any other World Heritage property on the List. The property has been subsequently expanded several times with a major extension in 1989 and minor boundary modifications in 2010, 2012 and 2013. The June 2013 minor boundary modification added approximately 170,000 hectares to the TWWHA including additional areas of tall eucalypt forest.
Since inscription on the World Heritage List, the TWWHA has been managed under a partnership arrangement between the Australian and Tasmanian Governments which ensures the protection of its outstanding natural and cultural heritage. Day-to-day management of the area is the responsibility of the Tasmanian Parks and Wildlife Service, Department of Primary Industries, Parks, Water and Environment (DPIPWE). Currently, the majority of the area is managed in accord with the Tasmanian Wilderness World Heritage Area Management Plan 1999 (Plan). This Plan is a revision of, and replaced the Tasmanian Wilderness World Heritage Area Management Plan 1992. The Plan is now outdated and does not cover the extensions made to the TWWHA in 2012 and 2013. The Tasmanian government, supported by the Commonwealth government, has committed to the development of a contemporary management plan for the TWWHA. This commitment is reflected in the National Partnership Agreement on the Implementation of the Tasmanian Forests Intergovernmental Agreement 2013 which provides funding to develop a contemporary statutory management plan for the TWWHA.
A project team within DPIPWE has been established to oversee the formulation of the new management plan. Click here for further information.

13. Tasmanian Historic Cultural Heritage Act amendments passed
The Tasmanian Parliament passed legislation on 22 November 2013 aimed at making Tasmania’s laws on historic heritage simpler. These amendments come after a lengthy review period which started in 2003 and many delays in State Parliament caused by other legislation and a number of amendments being considered by the Upper House. The Attorney General, Hon. Brian Wightman MP, said that this Bill will simplify the system allowing for a single application, single advertisement and single permit process. “Under the current laws, someone wishing to carry out works on heritage-listed places needs to seek approval through two separate approval bodies – each with its own timeframe and set of decision-making criteria,” he said. “These amendments will make the system much clearer for owners and developers and reduce duplicated effort for local government and the Tasmanian Heritage Council.” Mr Wightman said other proposed changes would ensure criteria for the protection of Tasmania’s historic heritage were consistent with those in interstate jurisdictions. “The amendments will also help to more clearly identify the boundaries of heritage listed places. “These amendments are an important step in addressing the most critical concerns of owner and developers, local government, the Heritage Council and the heritage sector,” he said.
Heritage Tasmania is available to answer any questions on the changes. Call Heritage Tasmania on 1300 850 332.

Expressions of Interest for the conservation of headstones to the Isle of the Dead, Port Arthur Historic Site
Expressions of Interest (EOIs) are sought for the conservation of sandstone headstones to the Isle of the Dead (IoD), Port Arthur Historic Site, Tasmania.
The IoD is of outstanding national significance and a rare surviving example of a penal settlement cemetery. The place has outstanding scientific, historic, and archaeological significance for its associations with death, burial and commemoration during the penal period.
The IoD is located 1.5km offshore from the main Port Arthur settlement. It is approximately 2.4 acres in size. Between 1833 and 1877 the Isle served as the principal burial ground for convicts, free officials and military personnel associated with the Port Arthur penal station. Many of the convict burials are unmarked. It has been managed as a historic site since the 1970s with visitation of around 21,000 per year.
The headstones and memorials of the site are of locally quarried sandstone and have been the subject of conservation projects since the 1990s. This project seeks to continue the cycle of monitoring, conservation and consolidation consistent with practices to date.
Project and background documentation is available by contacting Conservation Manager, Lucy Burke-Smith on (03) 6251 2363 or email Lucy.
